Incident #AB90B9 · 09 DEC 2025minor
Twitch raises minimum age to 16 in Australia and to local minimum where above 13
The age requirement now defines a 'Minimum Age': 13, or 16 in Australia, or the higher minimum age required in the user's jurisdiction. Parental supervision rules and the age representation now refer to this Minimum Age instead of a fixed 13.
Taken from you
- Users aged 13-15 in Australia, or below a higher local minimum age, can no longer use the service
- Users must now represent they meet a jurisdiction-specific minimum age, not just 13
